Banks to remain closed for three days in the second week of September; find out why.

The second week of September has begun, and banks across the country will be closed for three consecutive days during this period. Let us tell you when these holidays fall and the reasons behind them.

Banks play a vital role in everyone's life; people often have some banking business to attend to almost daily. However, banks are set to remain closed for three days during the second week of September—specifically between September 7 and September 13. Let us look at which three days these are and the reasons for the closures.

When will banks remain open?

If you have urgent banking tasks to complete, it is important to be aware of the bank holidays scheduled for the second week of September. Banks in most parts of the country will remain closed for three days between September 7 and September 13, 2026. According to the RBI calendar, there are no major national or regional bank holidays between September 7 and September 10 (Monday to Thursday); therefore, bank branches in most locations will operate normally on these days.

Banks to remain closed on these three days

Banks will observe holidays on September 11, 12, and 13 during the second week of September. On Friday, September 11, bank branches within the Jaipur Municipal Corporation area will remain closed due to local elections; this holiday does not apply to the entire state of Rajasthan or other cities across the country. Additionally, a bank union strike has been announced for September 11, which may impact certain banking services.

Meanwhile, September 12 and 13 fall on a Saturday and Sunday, respectively, so banks will remain closed on both days. Since September 12 is the second Saturday of the month, banks will be closed for that reason as well.

These services will remain operational

Customers are advised not to visit bank branches for any work during these three days. However, digital services such as UPI, net banking, mobile banking, and ATMs generally remain available, allowing essential digital transactions to be carried out.
